ana cOuGty, yesterday. Of the result OI
this the police are not confident, and
the fear Is expressed that the murdererE

the assault and has been released from

dispatch from Kensingt0n relates thC
movements at that place: "On last Fri

druggist could not furnish, aud left the
store, going east on the railroad track

this man, and thinks he fills the descrip
tion OF one of the miscreSnts concerned
In the RaVenna trouble. The night tele
graph operator notified Cleveland Of the
occurrence, and Superintendent Scbmitt
/ of the Cleveland police, telegraphed the
town marshal here to look into the mat
ter. The marshal, with posse Of men
were out securing the country, but
found nothing,
Two policemen from Alliance came on
the noon train, and, about One-hslf mile
east from here, one Of them found a

count of the rain they we're compelled
to give up their search, aud, when the ;

Cleveland got off After getting all the
information they could they started on

country for the men. The officers re-
turned a. Z O'clock without having
